What exactly is 'spirituality'?
It is an affirmer of some kind; a consolation, a hope, a mood enhancer, a straining towards a 'higher' order that we're all going to find happiness when we escape the physical (material) world
Yet endeavouring to describe 'spirituality' ' one has to come to terms with its fuzzy nature
Despite all the apparent evidence to the contrary, despite one's awareness, or not, of the power of how cognitive biases can blind us to the implications of evidence and lead us to confirm our biases despite overwhelming evidence against our view many hold this fuzziness (other worldliness) is its very appeal.
